為了保留能容納4000名員工的人性化建筑開發項目，我們已將辦公場所劃分為一系列“房屋”。

為促進社交及非正式聚會，長175米的街道是該方案的中心。與街道的喧囂不同，在有序的平面中，辦公區域的設計要求安靜、溫馨、不要太正式。每座辦公樓都由中央電梯廳分為兩翼，面向街道。

內部與外界環境之間的密切聯系是該項目的特點，可從街道，辦公區域及餐廳欣賞到庭院內外的景觀。

從外觀上看，“水岸”被視作景觀中的一系列建筑，通過透明玻璃罩彼此相連。圍繞“水岸”的草丘營造了一種起伏的視覺效果，階梯狀屋頂及突出的由尖凸石頭所包覆的辦公室兩翼則有助于分解整個綜合體的體量。

To retain a human scale for a development intended to house 4000 staff, we have divided the office accommodation into a series of “houses”.

Designed to promote social interaction and informal meeting, the street 175 metres long, is the hub of the scheme.

To contrast with the buzz of the street, the of fi ce areas are designed to be calm, welcoming and informal within an ordered plan. Each of the of fi ce buildings is divided into two wings by a central lift lobby, which faces onto the street.

A strong link between the internal and external environment is characteristic of the development, with views out to the courtyard and the landscape beyond, from the street, of fi ce areas and the restaurant.

From the exterior, Waterside is viewed as a series of buildings in the landscape, linked by a transparent glass enclosure. Grass mounds which create an undulating visual screen around Waterside, the stepped roo fl ine and projecting sharp stone clad fi ns to of fi ce wings all serve to break down the mass of the complex.
